I think every girl (that likes guys, of course) has imagined how her ideal man would look like. Ever since I was a little girl I dreamt that someday my beloved prince would appear and realize that we were meant to each other just by looking into our eyes. The day when I turned 22 I finally realized that the fairy tale I created when I was younger might never become true. So I decided to create my own love story using technology and all my knowledge about computers and virtual reality.
So, let me tell you how I created the guy who results to be my boyfriend now. I took the idea based on Steven Spielberg’s movie: “A.I: Artificial Intelligence”. I always believed that it was possible to build a robot that could resemble a human being in almost every aspect: look like one and also behave like a human. Therefore, I first made a draft of my ideal man: 1.87 meters tall, dark hair, hazel eyes, bushy eyebrows, no facial hair, olive skin, broad shoulders, with some muscles but also with a small soft belly (so I could lay my head on it) and strong arms. Once I felt comfortable with it, I introduced it to my especial computer and it did the whole work. The appearance of my virtual boyfriend was ready in less than two hours. However, it was just a sketch on the screen. And I needed a real man. The next step was to set his psychological and emotional characteristics. With a few clicks I added kindness, intelligence, knowledge about anything you can imagine, abilities to listen and know how and when to cuddle, sense of humor and a bunch of virtues I cannot remember right now. So, when I was done with my man, I saved him to the hard disk and let the computer and the Laser Three-dimensional Human Creator I had built the previous year do the work. After two weeks, the machine finished with the process and gave birth to the humanoid who is now my companion and my friend. My friends think I’m mad… my mom and dad think that I have serious issues with people and especially with men (they don’t conceive the idea of having a robotic boyfriend and the fact that I’m not interested in “real” guys) and my “shrink” strongly believes that this is only a stage that I will eventually pass through and that it is typical behavior of avoidance shown in people with Borderline Personality Disorder. What I think is that they don’t have a clue, because they were raised in another era. Nowadays, it seems quite normal falling in love with a virtual lover. Besides, there are so many advantages! I’m absolutely sure he will never cheat on me, he never criticizes me and loves my pets and family. Axtron 3000 (he told me his name right after appearing from the machine) is so close to be a real person, that I keep forgetting that he is a robot! So girls, if you can’t find a decent boyfriend and you don’t want to be single your whole life, get a robotic boyfriend!
